GOING: S(5)

MEX CLUB SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 900m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Mediterra to be prominent but one or more of the first starters should add to the early pressure. MAGICAL STAR (9) looks set to charge hard on debut for a powerful yard after three smart trial efforts. Early learner with a big presence and can make an immediate impact here. SOUTHERN HEIRESS (12) is a two-year-old filly from the Michael Freedman stable on debut today. Has been close enough in her trials to suggest a solid race day showing. MEDITERRA (10) was never in the hunt on a heavy track on debut but previous trials were solid. In good hands and with the race experience gets another chance. LADY TALEA (8) who is second up here and JIGADEE (2) who is on debut are both worth watching for any major market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magical Star to win.
